F. 5. `I1AKONF TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator DATE: 09/17/2013 SUBJECT: Establish Date for ULI Workshop (B) Action Sought For Council to establish Tuesday, December 10, 2013 as a date to participate in the Urban Land Institute's "Navigating the New Normal" workshop. Background The City has been approached by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) about participating in an interactive workshop for city officials, which will talk about how the "new normal" terms of changing demographics will impact planning for cities in Minnesota. The attachment gives highlights, describing how the number of Minnesotans who are age 65 or older will nearly double in the next 20 years, the numbers of younger Generation Y residents, and an increase number of immigrants will change the face of Minnesota. The ULI has conducted 23 of these workshops in the past two years, (all but one in the Twin Cities Metropolitan area), which have provided elected officials, staff, planning commissioners, and other advisory boards with an opportunity to talk about how these changes will impact their community. The workshops often spurred discussion as to how local planning needed to change. The ULI has time for one more of these workshops, and Shakopee has been approached to hold it. The ULI has either Monday, December 9th, or Tuesday, December 10th available. In view of the City's normal Tuesday evening schedule, I am recommending Tuesday, December 10th at 7:00 p.m. for the meeting time, should the Council choose to do this. If the Council agrees, the Planning Commission, EDAC, and SPUC should be invited (the same participants as were invited to the 501 planning discussions). Recommendation I recommend that the Council agree to host the ULI workshop, which would be held on Tuesday, December 10th at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. Budget Impact The ULI workshops are provided at no cost to the cities. Relationship To Visioning This supports Goal B, "Positively manage the challenges and opportunities presented by growth, development and change." Requested Action The Council should, by motion, designate Tuesday, December 10th, 7:00 p.m., to be the time and date for a workshop presented by the Urban Land Institute of Minnesota, entitled "Navigating the New Normal".
